Badge Description

AI and Work Breakdown Structures badge demonstrates how AI can accelerate and improve the creation of Work Breakdown Structures (WBS). Beginning with the WBS’s core role in scope, schedule, and team alignment, the badge covers how general-purpose GPT models can produce rapid draft structures and how those drafts can be refined using organizational context, deep-learning insights, and human-in-the-loop validation. Learners see live examples, receive reusable templates, and learn practical steps to integrate AI-assisted WBS creation into existing PM toolchains, reducing inconsistency and saving time while improving collaboration and decision making.

Badge Criteria

This INTERMEDIATE level badge is offered through a continuing education workshop and workforce development solution. Members will receive 2 CEUs and earn this Hood College Skills Accelerator Badge.

1. Explain the role of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) in project success and common pitfalls in manual WBS creation. 2. Use an AI model to produce an initial WBS draft from a project brief. 3. Apply organizational context and PM best practices to refine AI-generated WBS outputs. 4. Design and describe at least one human-in-the-loop validation checkpoint to ensure WBS quality and relevance. Translate a refined WBS into basic schedule/resource inputs and exportable artifacts for project tools. 5. Assess the value of AI assistance by identifying potential time savings, consistency improvements, and risks to monitor.
